separation and divorce counseling
Seeking supportive counseling saves you time and money. You may be seeking separation and divorce counseling after couples therapy or after you or your partner decided to end the relationship. My education, training, and personal journey as a daughter, partner, and mother of three young adults provide me with the best skills and experience to support you through this major life transition. My clients have been able to move through the legal process with less time and expense after participating in separation and divorce counseling.
REFRAME YOUR NARRATIVE OF YOUR INDIVIDUAL FUTURE
I specialize in high-conflict divorce coaching and post-divorce co-parenting. Many view this as an overwhelming and painful time of crisis, while in the best case it can help you find new meaning and purpose in life. You will benefit from my supportive, authentic, and direct style combining various techniques and creative solutions with a unique perspective.
GAIN EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS AND TOOLS FOR SELF-CARE
Each partner in separation will be set up for the best future success by processing thoroughly the reasons for the falling out. Effective listening and validation of feelings, even when partners do not agree, enables a sense of closure and a chance to move forward individually. An honest exploration helps you find your individual voice while developing a practice of self-compassion, empathy, and mindfulness.
CO-PARENT MINDFULLY AFTER SEPARATION WITH NEWLY ACQUIRED SKILLS
Divorce may end a marriage but it doesn’t have to end a family relationship. Co-parenting requires outlining new routines, rules, and schedules. Children in divorce benefit from knowing they will be able to live in an emotionally secure environment that fosters open and age-appropriate communication. In therapy, we can create new effective ways for you to manage your feelings, expectations, and disappointment while confidently parenting your children through the adjustment they are experiencing as their family life is changing. As a co-parenting specialist, a parent educator, and a child advocate I help you navigate the process of raising your children authentically through the divorce process on their way to becoming emotionally healthy adults.
